“We’re coming for you, Jake Paul”
Tommy Fury feels he’s hit the jackpot for his fight with Jake Paul next month and has begged his rival not to pull out.
After months of build-up, Fury and Paul will meet in an eight-round catchweight fight on December 18 in Florida.
Fury was supposed to face off with Paul last weekend for the first time since August, but a “family emergency” meant he missed their press conference.
Another conference to promote their fight took place on Monday, with Fury dialling in from the UK.
And he has boasted about the payday he will get for fighting internet star Paul.
“I feel like I’ve won the lottery. You’re asking me to fight on a massive world stage, you’re going to pay me nicely, and all I’ve got to do is fight Jake Paul. A YouTuber,” he said.

“I’m going to splatter him December 18. I’ve won the lottery. I’m begging Jake Paul, please do not pull out.
“Because normally, when we get to this stage in boxing, you’ve got to fight for a world title. But I’m fighting a YouTuber! Sign me up.”
Fury has parted ways with his father John for this fight, who guided him to success in his seven professional ways.
The Brit will instead seek the support of his brother – WBC heavyweight champion Tyson – and his trainer SugarHill Steward.
Tyson has turned from fighter to coach as of this week, taking his brother for a run and putting him through core work in the gym.
Fury praised the heavyweight champion’s guidance as a coach and predicted he will knockout Paul inside two rounds.
This prompted a response from Paul and his brother Logan, who posted a video on Instagram mocking Fury and his brother’s fight prediction.
Who will win when Jake Paul takes on Tommy Fury? Let us know in the comments section below
Paul turned professional last year and has picked up wins against a fellow YouTuber, former basketball player and two retired MMA fighters in Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.
And Fury didn’t see many positives from Paul’s split decision win against Woodley earlier this year.
“I took this away from his fight with Tyron Woodley. The man got a split-decision win. That means you only just won against a 40-year-old retired UFC fighter,” he continued.
“My god, well done. Good job, mate. You just about beat a 40-year-old man. When you get in there with a fresh 22-year-old whose been doing this all his life, you’re going to wish you stuck to paying UFC fighters off and basketball players.
“You should have gone and fought Tiger Woods, not somebody who has done it his whole life because you’re in for a big shock. You’re the one who is going to crumble.”
